Database Develop

[Q] Market Developer Console Not Updating

I just published my first android apps in the Market about 2 days ago, and I've noticed that the data in the Developer Console has been EXTREMELY slow to update.
For instance, I published an app just yesterday afternoon and it still says 0 downloads. However, my server has 100+ registrations from people using the app, so I know at LEAST 100 people have downloaded it.
Is something screwy going on with their servers or is it normally this slow to update data? Thanks in advance to anyone who replies

It updates once a day seemingly at different times every day. Also, sometimes the stats are still off and occasionally will get corrected magically.

Thanks for the response. That seems to be what I've been experiencing too. Although I have noticed comments and ratings update instantly. Downloads/Active Users stats only once a day.

[Q] Battery dying in 12 hours! - Solved

Hey guys,
For some reason my Gear dies in half a day and I can't work out why. I'm using Skin's modded Tizen ROM but have been doing so for months and this has just started to happen.
- I have no apps installed;
- I don't have auto on when I raise my wrist, although I've tried it with this on and makes no difference;
- I've reset the phone to factory settings. It was actually fine during the day. Put it in my drawer over night, woke up 7 hours later and it had gone from 75% to dead!
- Reset it AGAIN and it's still muffed!;
- Uninstalled the Gear s/w and reinstalled to no avail.
I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but it seemed to coincide with the orange coloured version of the Gear manager. Does anyone have the apk for the previous version where it was all white with a colourful top border please? Or failing that, have any idea what the hell my watch thinks it's up to?
Thanks!
EDIT
Solution
1. Deleted the Gear software (and checked for any remainders in the file manager...although personally I found none);
2. Hard reset the watch, just in case;
3. Installed Gear Manager 2.1.14071502 (courtesy of Brendo);
4. Paired and got it all working well. This alone sorted the battery life which was nice.
5. I let the software update automatically; (obviously bypassing the dodgy version)!
6. Boom! It works fine with the latest app!

Did you try resetting watch? Check link in my sig for older versions of gm

Yep I've also reset the watch on two occasions. Still dying within 9 hours Cheers for the apk's though, I'll see if that makes any difference. Otherwise I may have to ditch Skin's ROM and try the official - see if that helps.

I am getting almost the same thing over the last few days. My Gear Manager updated to a newer version and I have had the issue ever since. Idk what about updating that on my phone would have to do with the Gears battery life but I have changed a few settings on my notifications to see if that is going to help. I also keep getting "saproviders has stopped" CONSTANTLY. Was popping up every 3 seconds and I could not do anything with my phone. Finally got into Titanium and froze that app and I have had no more issues with that on my phone but I don't think that is cause my Gear to have poor battery life would it? I may have to go back to a older version of Gear Manager.

Similar thing for me with saproviders although it was happening because I had disabled Unified Daemon (EUR) process. Reenabled it and that went....although sometimes the UD(EUR) drains my phone battery and is really only used for weather updates.
As for the draining issue, I'm having a go with Gear Manager 2.1.14071502 and seeing if it makes any difference. So far it is, but I will report my findings back in 24hrs!

That is exactly the version I downloaded also. Gonna have to figure out how to get it to stop wanting to auto update to the newer versions. Just gonna set my settings and not go back to gear manager for awhile. See if it makes a difference for my Gears battery life before I go looking at anything else.

Okay that has fixed it, going back to Gear Manager 2.1.14071502! The watch has been on for 3.5 hours and is still at 100% rather than 55% as it was yesterday!!!
WTF Samsung?!?!
What the hell have they done with their latest Gear app? It must be causing some sort of wakelock on the watch itself.
Guess I'll wait for a month for newer releases.

Good to know about the Gear Manager, I was gonna suggest a reset , but doing the reset via "recovery" , instead of selecting "download" like when using Odin, you select "recovery" and it resets also. I've done the reset that way in the past and it fixed my issues. I had looked all over the Tizen OS for battery stats with no luck. Maybe the Gear somehow stash's the stats or something on the phone instead...? Hmm, I'm gonna dig around in gear manager..

Yea have a look Chris. Actually I did reset via the GM first time, the second time I did it via the hardware...as in hold power, keep tapping it and reset that way. Both ways made little unfortunately.
My watch was still on 97% after 8 hours of none use over night so I'm pretty sure it's GM. However, now it wants to update and I literally cannot stop it If I say no, it exits the app, if I say yes the obvious happens. How can I block it?
Also, just for fun I've let it run the update. I know the first version of the 'orange GM' had issues and Samsung updated that immediately. I'm speculating over whether that first cocked up version brought over an issue into the latest one. Thereby if I go from an even older version to the latest, the issue may disappear... as always, I'll keep posting results.

after downgrading GM to previous version, my battery life also improved, after 9 hours of having it at work, taking some pics, sync to internet i had 70% left. gorgeous!
i will never ever press update again. each update only brings more bugs and no new functionality.

Well now I want to potentially throw a curve ball...although we'll see by tomorrow. After downgrading to 2.1.14071502 then upgrading to the latest my gear has been sat idle for 2 hours and sits at 100% battery life.
If this works, it means the previous version of the latest software created some kind of bug and carried itself through to the latest revision. So - this *may* have sorted it. I'll have to keep an eye on it for now but it's looking promising.

i did downgrade but it force app to upgrade or it will stop

Well I've never double posted before in my life! Not sure how that happened - apologies

Right it appears to be fixed (finally).
24 hours - 8% battery use - using the latest Gear software...GREAT!
Theory
The first version of the new batch of gear software had some weird bug causing a wakelock on the watch. Upgrading the app didn't remove it.
What I did
1. Deleted the Gear software (and checked for any remainders in the file manager...although personally I found none);
2. Hard reset the watch, just in case;
3. Installed Gear Manager 2.1.14071502 (courtesy of Brendo);
4. Paired and got it all working well. This alone sorted the battery life which was nice.
5. I let the software update automatically; (obviously bypassing the dodgy version)!
6. Boom! It works fine with the latest app!
All of that said, you may be able to skip steps 3-5 and directly install the latest version....but I tried that and for some reason I still has horrendous battery life.
I'm not sure why the steps above fixed it, but they did. So have a go if this is pi**ing you off as it may just work.
Cheers!

@jonboyuk I've done what you did ,didnt work , even downloaded latest version 2.2.14092299 from @Brendo but still keeps the going to 2.2.14090599 and saprovider FC , i did clean data saprovider and uninstall it worked , but after restarting gear and re-connect it back as it was even uninstalling saprovider wont help anymore.
so now its draining battery so quick. and media control not working.

I ran the same previous version of GM you did. I got GREAT battery life with it. Completely fixed my problem. Now I do have that stubborn update that keeps popping. This is what I do. I click GM app. Update popup comes up and says Cancel or Update. I click the update and when the DL starts, I hit the home button on my GS4 to minimize the app and then i hold the Home button to clear all apps which shuts down the GM app and kills the update. Then I go back to GM app and it does not ask me to update any more. It stays away until I reboot the phone normally. Temp fix i guess but Ill look into it more and see if there is a way to completely stop it.

I had this issue. I went into Titanium Backup and froze the SAProviders app. Stopped the popup because it was constantly popping up and was very annoying and could not use my phone at all. Frezzing the app solved the pop up but the bad battery life still stayed until i reverted back to a older version of the GM app like I said in the comment above this one. Still looking for a way to perm stop the update from popping up.

Downgrde to previous GM

Every time I try to go back it re-installs 599. Even if I stop it by holding down the home button and close all apps. I re-open GM and it goes right back to downloading additional software. Has anyone figured a way around this? My watch is dead in 6 hours the way it is now so it's basically useless...

first you need to uninstall new Gear Manager, then disable Samsung Apps (Settings->Apps), and then install older GM, you choose. That helped me to disable auto GM update from Samsung, what was very nervous...

Guys, I removed with Titanium all the Gear stuff and installed the 14071502 version without a problem. Freezing SAProviders stopped the update notification from showing up. But my Gear still uses around 10%/hour of battery Anything else I can try?

I have also installed the 2.1.14071502 version. To prevent forcing to upgrade to 2.2, I just disabled Wifi and 3G.. so, it only installs the software of this version. When I got paired, I go to Gear Manager Setup and uncheck the Automatic Update .. so, I only have that version. For goprovider FC, I installed the version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2758364 (goprovider-signed-20140529.apk )
And that's all! I have a working goprovider, with 2.1 Manager.... BUT, this version doesn't allow the notification from any app! So, I don't get notifications from WhatsApp, FB, skype.. none! So, do you have another later version (not 2.2)? or any other way to get Whatsapp,etc notifications?

Nexus 6 (ATT) Powering Off By Itself

Any of you experiencing this? I have my phone for 10 days and for 7 straight days now, my phone is powering off by itself even if still have at least 50% charge. I haven't rooted it yet, all stock.

Yeah it's a known issue at the moment and I don't think there's currently any fix for our problem. Or I at least I haven't checked the thread that's open for this issue in a couple days. From what I read it seems to be hit or miss on the first wave of Nexus 6's from ATT and Motorola. I'm not sure about the T-mobile, Verizon, and Sprint versions of the phone.

Got a notification for Software update, I think it's 5.0.1, but I didn't update. That's when my phone powers off by itself. When I a do a manual systems update, it says my phone is up to date under version 5.0. Could the update might've fixed this?

I just read that if you have the Amazon apps installed on your phone that's part of the problem. Google and Motorola confirmed they're working to address the issues with the reboots and shutdowns people have experienced. 5.0.1 is suppose to fix some of the bugs but not all. Amazon apps or Appstore is related to most of the reboots due to an incompatibility with the OS.

Yeah the amazon app is quite slow on the n6

My phone did the same thing. I returned it to AT&T for a full refund and will wait until I can get my hands on something not from AT&T.

AT&T Random Shutdown
I had a Pre-Order and mine was doing it almost twice a day. I returned it and exchanged at the store for a newer one. The new ones have a green dot on the box next to the IMEI barcode. Been on the new one for a week and a half and it has done it 3 times now (it is updated to 5.01). However now when I power it back on my home screens are wiped, essentially set to default but everything is still installed and setup EXCEPT google now. I do have amazon apps installed but just removed after reading previous post, will see what happens.
I went to store also and they will exchange again but IDK at this point if it will help?

Mine has turned off by itself twice now, I am on 5.0.1. Having come from the LG G3 which would do this whenever I took a photo, unless I switched to Airplane Mode, I thought I had seen the back of this problem.
Also the OK Google recognition screen cuts in when watching You Tube videos all the time.

I'll remove the amazon app. And see what happens.

I uninstalled both Amazon app and the Kindle app. Lets see what happens.

Just an update: 2 days after uninstalling amazon and kindle app, my N6 hasn't powered off by itself. I think it does affect my phone.

I removed Kindle App and Amazon app on 12/19/14 no reboots since.

That's good news, is it possible the Amazon app was causing the issue? I got my N6 from t-mobile and experienced my random reboot about an hour after the initial setup and 5.0.1 update. Wiped Cache Partition as suggested on another thread. But if the Amazon all is the issue here I will uninstall it too...come to think of it I setup my Amazon app last along with my Ebay and NewEgg and shortly after my phone restarted....hmmm thanks for the info guys!

I uninstalled all Amazon apps (appstore, instant video and the Amazon app itself) and still having that shutdown issue. Totally annoying. As far as I could see it almost only happened while my earphones are plugged in. Just happened 1 time without plugged in earphone. 2 weeks N6, already about 10+ random shutdowns. Any known solution for that? It's totally annoying... :/
Running latest Euphoria OS, but also happened before rooting.

Going to uninstall Amazon App
I have been having random reboots lately almost 3-4 times a week. It is getting super annoying and i did notice that i do have the amazon app installed. I have uninstalled it and will see if it helps with the random reboots/power off. Thanks for the updates information on this issue.

I haven't encountered this prob for over 2 weeks already. I guess it's amazon.

I just had my Play Store nexus 6 reboot on me. Its on verizon, never have installed amazon. Very light amount of apps installed, almost nothing running. Stock, unrooted. 5.0.1
Hrm

rebooting is real
My new Nexus keeps rebooting about twice a day. Missed several calls due to this.
. 5.0.1, noncarrier. 5 apps installed. Do I have get an iPhone - shudder.

What apps do you have installed? Is the 5.01 factory installed or updated through your carrier?

AdChoice Ads Randomly Popping Up - Please Help Me!

So, I am suddenly getting these AdChoice ads popping up on my Galaxy Note 8 (VZW).
They pop up all the time, out of nowhere, no matter what I'm doing on my device.
I haven't really installed anything new lately.
I've updated the firmware with the latest security update (OTA). And, I do recall my phone freezing up while taking a video (stock camera) around the time this may have begun to occur.
How can I get these annoying ads to stop?!?!?!

Must be from an app you have installed.

skip the guesswork and do a master reset FDR AND SETUP AS NEW DEVICE with no backups restored until the ads disappear , because if you restore all it will repeat ads. https://thedroidguy.com/2018/05/galaxy-note-8-keeps-showing-ad-pop-ups-mobile-data-turns-off-calls-issues-1076787

and look at this video FIRST. theres no instant solution, but i provided a start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoD9lHNw0nQ
The security update didnt cause it, and you cant uninstall that.

This.
OP, skip the factory reset suggestion and narrow down the problem to one of your apps. Think games, etc. Factory reset is last resort, and truly overkill for a single app. Besides, if you dont narrow it down now you will likely end up in the same position anyways down the line . Better to resolve it now. Cheers.

Unlocked N9 Android 10 / One UI 2.0 BETA Upgrade

Was shocked to see the notification this morning, jumped in with the update before leaving for work and seems fine so far. Navigation Bar customization lost for now, Nav Star under Good Lock says they're working on an update so hopefully that takes care of things. Haven't had much time to explore yet but initially phone is much snappier, even after considering it restarts automatically once a week.

What version software were you on before?

Good question, don't really see an update Log. Last update was November so I assume it was SJ1. Updates have been running around 45 to 60 days on this phone.

I will say, and unfortunately not sure this option was around on Pie, but looked up Android 10 tips and enabled Adaptive Power Saving under Device Care / Battery / Power Mode and at least for the first day it seems battery draw has improved. Time will tell.

You're using an N960U1 or an N960U but it has Unlocked US firmware on it, which just makes it an N960U1. Did you register for the beta on the Samsung Members app? Or can you tell us what your previous firmware was before you got Android 10?

Yeah it's kind of.....odd.??* I don't even want the beta. I just want to know what the banking schemes are for the firmware itself. It'll give us a hint IF Samsung is leaving towards a bootloader update. Which will help tell us they fixed something nasty from the current bootloader. ?

I think I did register for the Beta so that makes sense, went to the Members Center looking for something else and tapped the icon for it, never got confirmation of anything though. The upgrade notification didn't state it was Beta either. Based on dates per Samsung Phone was probably on SJ1 Pie prior to this. I assumed this was the December 1 patch when it first popped up.

Notification popped up today when opening Settings that this is the Beta, a fact not communicated by Samsung during the update. Went into Settings upon noticing the Phone which was good all weekend today at work without using it started getting hot and draining the battery. Shut it down wiped partition cache a during startup then went into Battery / App Usage and found Camera, which had not been open since last night had used 62.7% of Battery over the past 6:43 hours. Toggled on 'Put App to sleep when not in use' for Camera App and will keep an eye on this along with everything else. All other App Usage seems to be normal. Charging phone now and it has cooled down.

Realize this was the Google Camera acting up that was installed from a link on this forum and mapped to activate by double tapping the Bixby button through BxActions (Samsung Camera activates by double tapping Power Button). Explains why it was acting up after the update. I like the G-Cam night mode and have been comparing the results to the S-Cam night mode including a few shots of Christmas decorations last night.

Updated this Thread Title to reflect what this upgrade actually is. Very happy with this upgrade so far, even though it wasn't labeled as the Beta version in the notification when it first popped up. Only real glitch I've noticed besides the G-Cam battery drain episode which is no fault of Samsung being a sideloaded App, is the settings security page. Phone is setup to require security log on when Settings is opened, currently the security pattern screen flashes then goes to Settings menu without requiring login fingerprint or pattern. Lost Navigation Bar customization I assume will be recovered when NavStar is updated, there is a notification in LockStar that let's you know they're working on an update.

Received another Beta update today.

Another Beta is pending, brings Security Patch up to January 1st, will install tonight.
